Profile:

Over 17,000 first class runs, 25 centuries, a thousand wickets and 500 catches illustrate Len BraundŐs all round prowess. A powerful right hand bat, he favoured the leg side, and took an aggressive approach. He originally bowled fast-medium but switched to leg-breaks, and became possibly the best leg spinner in England in the first decade of the 20th century. He had deceptive flight, considerable spin, and pace from the pitch. He was the best amongst many good slip fielders, not surpassed in that position until the advent of Hammond. He played a few times for Surrey, but after not establishing himself in the side qualified for Somerset where he played for many years. After retirement he became a first-class umpire, much respected by the players, and officiating up to the Second world war (Dave Liverman, 1998).
